Such as, one in one or more sensor 107 can be accelerometer.Background data can be collected from accelerometer, and the motion detection block 210 of sensor manager module 208 can be provided to.Motion detection block 210 can analyze the background data from accelerometer, and can determine or detection system 200 is static or at the volley.Motion detection block 210 is passable, and such as, provide background data by analysis to network manager module 202, point out that system 200 is static backgrounds, network manager module 202 can be configured to provide to network controller 116 background data analyzed.Network controller 116 can judge system 200 be static and be connected to WiFi network connect access point.When system 200 is static and is connected to WiFi network connection access point, network controller 116 can revise the sweep speed (by forbidding or reducing the speed for scanning these access points) that the other network comprising 3G, 4G or LTE access point connects access point.By the forbidding when system 200 is static, other network available on 3G, 4G or LTE network is connected to the scanning of access point, when system 200 static and be connected to WiFi network connect access point time, the power consumption of system 200 can be reduced.
In another example, the background data collected from accelerometer can point out that system 200 moves.In this example, active module 214 can the equipment of detection system 200 or use system 200 whether to be moved by the speed be associated with the activity such as driving a car or fly aboard and so on.Active module 214 can analysis background data move with the speed such as exceeding walking or the speed that is greater than 7 miles per hours with judgement system 200.By network manager module 202, the background data of analysis can be provided to network controller 116.Network controller 116 can scan WiFi network access point by forbidding when system 200 is to be designated and to move with the movable speed be associated, and revises sweep speed.So, when travelling in car, scanning roadside WiFi network access point can be forbidden, to avoid extra scanning.On the contrary, network controller 116 can scan available 3G, 4G or LTE network access point.By scanning the Network Access Point of such as 3G, 4G or LTE network access point and so on, and forbidding scanning WiFi network access point, the power consumption of system 200 can be reduced, simultaneously based on the background of system 200, keep network to connect more rightly.
In another example, the background data from accelerometer can point out that system 200 moves, and active module 214 can judge system 200 to exceed the speed of the speed of such as driving in the car or to be greater than 120 miles per hours and to move.In this example, the speed exceeding the speed of driving in the car can be associated with flying in aircraft.By network manager module 202, the background data of the analysis pointing out translational speed can be provided to network controller 116.Network controller 116 can by forbidding scanning WiFi, 3G, 4G or LTE network access point, amendment sweep speed.Such as, when flying in aircraft, background data can point out the motion being greater than 120 miles per hours, and network controller 116 can forbid all scannings for Network Access Point.In certain embodiments, this can be called as " autoplane " feature.Autoplane feature can comprise forbidding when sensor controller 126 detects that system 200 moves with the speed that can be associated with aircraft flight and scans available network.The data pointing out height from the additional sensor of such as altitude gauge and so on can also confirm this assessment further.Further, the very near position (use gps data) on airport also can provide current kinetic to be the instruction taken off.
In another example, even if autoplane feature is activated as discussed above, network controller 116 also only can forbid WiFi scanning in take-off and landing process.Such as, one in one or more sensor 107 can be altitude gauge, and background data can comprise the background data of the motion of the altimeter data pointing out change of atmospheric pressure and the speed pointing out to exceed drive speed in the car.In this example, active module 214 can monitor the background data of the background data pointing out change highly and the speed pointing out to exceed the speed of driving a car.Active module 214 can provide background data to network controller 116.Network controller 116 can the sharply change of height (can with aircraft take off or land be associated) forbid in process and scan WiFi, 3G, 4G or LTE network access point, but, enable WiFi when background data only points out little change (can be relevant to the cruising altitude of aircraft) of height and scan.
In another example, one in one or more sensor 107 can be GPS sensor, and can collect the background data of the position of the system of pointing out 200.In this example, network controller 116 can receive from (such as GPS sensor) one or more sensor 107 background data pointing out the position of system 200.Network controller 116 also can receive the data of the former history of the access point pointing out to be associated with position.Position-based and former history, if former history points out do not have access point to use in the position of pointing out, then network controller 116 can forbid scanning access point.By scanning based on former history and background data forbidding, system 200 can reduce otherwise may be used for the power consumption of scan for networks access point.
In another example, the background data of the position of the system of pointing out 200 can be collected, and the history prestored may point out do not have available 3G, 4G or Long Term Evolution (LTE) Network Access Point in the position of pointing out.In this example, network controller 116 can forbid scanning 3G, 4G, or LTE network access point, continues scanning WiFi network access point simultaneously.Continue by the network insertion of some type of forbidding scanning the access point scanning other types, system 200 based on the history prestored of the access point be associated with the background data collected, can reduce power consumption simultaneously.
Network controller 116 also can be configured to based on the position of pointing out system 200 background data and point out the background data of the history prestored of network of high cost compared with the network of lower cost, from multiple available network, select a network.Such as, point out that the background data of the internuncial history be in the past associated with the position of system 200 can point out that WiFi network access point is known in this position, and another 3G, 4G of being in than higher-wattage cost, or the power cost that LTE network access point is low.First network controller 116 can by scanning known WiFi access point, retouching operation.Network controller 116 also can by forbidding scanning 3G, 4G and/or LTE network access point, or after scanning the known low power cost WiFi network access point be associated with location-based background data, scanning 3G, 4G, or LTE network access point, carry out retouching operation.
